I found you under the darkening sky,
Meaning that tomorrow promised rain.
We spoke of many things on that day
And when we walked again.

I found you again, when school began,
Slightly different but the same.
I wanted to rekindle our friendship,
But my heart I could not tame.

I know now that the right thing to do
Is to let you go,
But, call me foolish if you wish,
But to that I continuously say 'no'.

My devotion is unnatural,
Of that I am sure.
But what can one say,
When I proclaim 'I don't care'

It is said that love will set you free,
Free from all your woes.
You must work hard for that,
The hardest part of love is letting you go...

I will never let her go. Ever.

I give you 4 for technique because quatrains are used pretty frequently and I like to see other forms of verse employed, but you did mix up the rhythm and syllable count, while keeping a steady pace. I like that.

You get a 5 for impact and vision because it's a very well-conveyed, powerful piece, and at this point in my life especially, it hits home on a very personal level for me.

You also get a 5 for originality. Most people have a hard time putting into words that irrational, illogical love toward someone else... a love that you know you shouldn't feel, but you do anyway, and you will never voluntarily stop. I've had such a difficult time explaining this to the people in my life. You've done a great job.

the 5th stanza is my favorite. It's the one that's most true in my life. What can they say, "Well, you should care"? Sorry, still don't.

I used to be able to relate to this, but after today, i realize how stupid these feelings are... well in my case they were.

What does the "I don't care" refer to?

... did I miss something?

:heart: ~WolfLinkRiddle :heart: is my Girlfriend. So don't mess with her. Because I've got the largest private collection of guns this side of Afghanistan.
To me, being a pimp is like walking through a field of burrs; Eventually one gets stuck to you

Not caring that the love you have for the person in question is strange.

Ah...I suppose love itself is a strange beast, even at the best of times.
